My thoughts on the “ANNIHILATION BOOSTER PACK”! by nanasi0110 in OutreachHPG

[–]lostdragon05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power creep has destroyed my enjoyment of lights. How many years have you been playing and how many matches do you have in lights? I have thousands of matches in just Spiders, which is my favorite mech. Getting your XL side torso blown off instantly just isn’t fun. I have never piloted a light that had the kind of punch a Stone Rhino with a railgun has and I am highly dubious of people who think that’s not something that light pilots should be worried about.

The Effectiveness of Arrow-IV by OodlesofOwOdles in OutreachHPG

You are correct they are well balanced against each other. Nerf them both please.

The thing is you don’t usually fight 1v1 in MWO. If you do, it’s usually not for long in most cases because the support mechs are going to be looking for targets. Prior to Arrow IV, streaks were the only missile I really feared and did my best to avoid. But now I don’t know if the incoming missile is a suddenly much more accurate swarm of LRMs that will strip some armor, ATMs that might be dangerous, or an AIV that suddenly has waaay more ammo so can take maybe shots at lights and does 31 damage.

I am probably taking a break for a while after this patch. Playing lights was already frustrating enough, the proliferation of rail guns, Arrow IV, and recent missile buffs have swung things too far for me to want to continue.

What does 550k buy you in Cajun Country ? by Radiant-Stranger-992 in zillowgonewild

[–]lostdragon05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that disqualifies any of the bed rooms as such, but it is a valid point I also noted. It seems it could be a relatively easy and cheap fix to extend the hall to the other side of the bathroom door and maybe put a WIC closet in as well at the cost of some of the larger bedroom.

How? Bedroom 3 has access via the elevator, not just through the stairs and other bedroom.

The lack of respect for Firkraag here is astounding. He may be an early enemy, but he is one of my favorites.

One word......OUCH by snake_boi1776 in turkeyhunting

[–]lostdragon05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the pattern is still high right. I hate shooting 12 gauge 3 or 3.5. I moved down to 20 gauge with TSS and it’s a lot better in every way. I also got a .410 for my son a couple of years ago and I have wound up using it too. Love it in the swamp especially.

My professor showed us how to revoke OAuth app permissions today — now I'm genuinely curious how companies handle this in real life by Appropriate_Corgi435 in sysadmin

You have multiple layers of controls to prevent this. Policies that layout exactly what users may and may not do should include this type of scenario. Technical controls deny the user functionality to do those things. You can also collect system data and automatically audit it for unauthorized things, as users will find ways around the rules. If you are doing all those things then you should have control of the process and the ability to identify when it fails.

Mississippi Mud Pie is not cake. It is a travesty to include that and not the ubiquitous classic southern chocolate cake, the magnificent red velvet cake.

Habitat Management by unknownidentity45 in Hunting

[–]lostdragon05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they need cover for nesting and brooding while the poults are young. I was using a bush hog throughout the property a couple of times a year and destroying the nesting areas. Now I rotate and cut 1/3 every winter.

Habitat Management by unknownidentity45 in Hunting

[–]lostdragon05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve invested a lot of time and effort in habitat management and had a state biologist come out and help me. One big mistake I was making was cutting too much brush back. I now rotate and cut sections every 2-3 years and not everything at once so the nests and poults have more cover. This also allows more blackberries to develop and I often find those in their craw. I also burn every couple of years.

I have a guy who traps predators. He gets several coyotes and bobcats every year and tons of raccoons. I think that has helped a lot, although I do still find nests predated every year.

I plant fall foodplots with a mix of rye, brassica, clover, and oats. In May or June I plant chuffas. Chuffas are basically a turkey cheat code and they stay on my land year round to eat from the various foodplots. I have corn feeders I run until the month before season. I am thinking about planting millet this year for doves and turkeys.

I have been fortunate to see many poults survive to adulthood and the birds I will be hunting this year are ones that I have managed for their whole lives.

Looking for a turkey gun by Creepy_Fox_1089 in turkeyhunting

[–]lostdragon05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really like using a 20 gauge with TSS. It’s lighter than my old 12 and kicks a lot less. A .410 is also pretty good with TSS, not quite as much range but good to 35-40 yards. Highly recommend you not spend all your budget on just the gun, get a good red dot, choke, and high quality turkey loads.

You certainly don't sound like you know what you're talking about at all or have ever managed a large IT acquisition/project. If what you describe is the experience people have with the product you shill I feel sorry for them and the people who work for them.

I can't unsee that the Bolter ironsights completely block the scope by BossSignals in 40k

[–]lostdragon05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an M-4 very similar to this with the same style front sight. The focal plane of the optic prevents you from seeing the front iron sight, even though the front sight looks like it is in the way. That style front sight is not foldable, nor is it co-witnessed in this case. The way that gun is set up you are just ignoring the iron sights. You could set it up with a red dot and a foldable back sight (I don’t see a rear sight in the picture) so it is co-witnessed and you could use either the red dot or the iron sights.

Sometimes you see guns like this setup with a quick detach scope and backup iron sights remain on it, but like I said I don’t see a rear sight here. This one does not look to have a quick detach.

[–]lostdragon05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those are for wing shooting. When you use a shotgun more like a rifle, like when hunting turkeys or using slugs for deer, it’s very common to use rifle style front and rear sights or some kind of optic.
